FAQs

How do I know if my roof has been damaged by severe weather?

Look for visible signs like cracked, curled, or missing shingles, as well as granule loss on asphalt shingles. You may also notice dents in metal panels or leaks inside the house. If you see water spots on your ceiling, sagging roof decking, or mold in your attic, these are strong indicators your roof has sustained storm damage. A professional inspection is the best way to confirm the extent of the damage.

Will my homeowner’s insurance cover storm-related roof damage?

Most standard homeowners’ insurance policies include coverage for storm damage, but coverage can vary by policy and provider. Typically, if the damage was caused by a sudden, unexpected event like hail or high winds, you can file a claim. Always review your policy details and contact your insurance company for clarification. It’s also a good idea to schedule a professional roof inspection to document the damage before filing a claim.

What is the process for replacing a weather-damaged roof?

First, a qualified roofing contractor inspects your roof to assess the damage. Next, you’ll work with your insurance provider (if applicable) to file a claim. Once approved, the roofing contractor will remove the old materials, check the underlying decking for structural integrity, and install new roofing materials. The process typically takes one to three days, depending on the size of the roof and weather conditions.

Can I replace only the damaged sections of my roof instead of doing a full replacement?

In some cases, spot repairs are possible if the damage is isolated and the rest of the roof is in good shape. However, if the damage is extensive or the roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, a full replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. An experienced roofer can evaluate whether localized fixes will be sufficient or if a complete replacement is necessary.

What type of roofing material is best for storm-prone areas?

Each roofing material has its pros and cons, but impact-resistant shingles, metal roofing, and tile or slate roofs tend to stand up well to severe weather. Impact-resistant shingles are designed to withstand hail and heavy winds, while metal roofing is durable and can last 40–70 years. The best choice depends on factors like climate, budget, and aesthetic preference, so it’s wise to discuss options with a reputable roofing contractor.

How can I prevent future roof damage from storms?

Regular inspections and maintenance go a long way toward preventing damage. Keep gutters clear to prevent water buildup, remove overhanging branches, and periodically check for missing or damaged shingles. Upgrading to impact-resistant materials can also help protect your roof. Scheduling a professional inspection at least once a year—or after major storms—ensures small issues are caught before they become bigger problems.
